Yes @herbertholmes2 is right that it is a soybean product. It is cooked soybeans that get mixed with a fungus or spores that ferment it during a process that involves a few steps before it incubated in a certain temperature for around 30 hours. It originates in Indonesia and probably doesn't need an incubator there because of the heat. It is a great product for anyone who wants to replace meat for an animal free protein. In Indonesia they eat a lot of it even if they are not vegan and most are not.
Tempeh is a soy product made of condensed soy beans, if that makes sense. That's probably not the best way to explain it, but that's all I got...
It can be amazing if prepared correctly, as it was here :)
